Foundation Invests $700K+ To Meet Needs
As Otsego County needs grew in 2025, the Community Foundation of Otsego County answered the call. Including resources from our donor-advised funds, we invested over $700,000.00 in our community. This includes two grant rounds, totaling $235,000.00, which targeted family and child welfare, with a focus on food insecurity and the needs of our county arts organizations, which add so much to our lives.
Every year, Otsego County children need winter coats and outerwear. The number of our kids that aren’t equipped for winter is unsettling. Last year, CFOC awarded more than $15,000.00 in grants to Opportunities for Otsego, the Unadilla Community Food Pantry, and Catholic Charities of Delaware, Otsego, and Schoharie Counties to buy new winter clothes for more than 300 children.
